Dear Colin,
Thank you very much for your letter of 14 Septttriber
setting out your comments on Dr. Mitchinson's proposal. Your
comments were very helpful in enabling us to reach a decision
on this work and you will be interested to know that we have
decided to pass it on to TAC for thei consider8tion.
As you say the relevance to cigarette smoking is not
immediately obvious and, notwithstanding the plausibility of
tile hypothesis, we feel that there must be some limit to the
amount of external work we can usefully support. I will h-
you know in due course whether or not TAC decide to tund
this project.
While writing, may I confirm that your grant is being
processed via the usual HAT channels and 1 trust you will be
able to appoint a suitable person to the post.
I look forward to coming up to Imperial College with
Dr. Godden in the near future. I will try to arrange something
with you in the next week or so.
With kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
01<
